Another Country Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Oh, a rif[G]le took its aim and[C] a
man fell to the ground.
He [G]tried to stand again but every
[C]body held him down:
[E]A time of terror when the
[C]bullet [Bbm]pierced the air --
I know [C]that couldn't [G]happen here.
Oh, [C]it must [F]have been another [G]country --
Yes, [F]it must have been
another [C]land.
[F]That couldn't happen in [C]the U.S.A.
[G]We'd never treat a man tha[C]t way.
And [G]a migrant

[Verse 2]
worker sweats [C]under
neath the blazin' sun.
He's [G]fallen on his knees [C]but his
work is never done.
He begs [E]someone to listen
[C]but nobody seems to care,
[Bbm]And I know t[Ebm]hat couldn[G]'t happen here.
Oh, it [F]must have been another [G]country --
Yes, it [F]must have been an[C]other land.
[F]That couldn't happen in the[C] U.S.A.
[G]We'd never treat a man tha[C]t way.

[Verse 3]
And a man is [G]working steady,
it's good [C]money he receives
[G]But he's thrown out of work
for the [C]wrong things he believes.
[E]He didn't have the thoughts
most [Am]everybody [Bbm]shares.
I know that [C]couldn't [G]happen here,
so it [F]must have been another [G]country --
Yes, it [F]must have been another [C]land.
[F]That couldn't happen [C]in the U.S.A.
[G]We'd never treat a man that way[C].
And a [G]man is sent to

[Verse 4]
prison
to [C]wait until he dies.
He [G]fights to save his life,
for [C]years and years he tries.
[E]Even though he changed himself
he [F]dies [Am]upon the [Bbm]chair.
[Ebm]I know[C] that coul[G]dn't happen here.
Oh, it [F]must have been another [G]country --
Yes, it [F]must have been an[C]other land.
[F]That couldn't happen in the [C]U.S.A.
[G]We'd never treat a man that [C]way.
Oh, I [G]know we'd never
treat a man that [C]way.[C]
